Abstract : We investigate in this paper rings containing a finitely generated p-injective maximal left ideal. We show that if $R$ is a semiprime ring containing a finitely generated p-injective maximal left ideal, then $R$ is a left p-injective ring. Using this result we are able to give a new characterization of von Neumann regular rings with nonzero socle.
Keywords : von Neumann regular rings, p-injective ideals, p.p.-rings
